Posted to the MILF Website (Apr 19): Bangsamoro of Koronadal Province oriented on Sharia and parliamentary governance



To get glimpse of how the Bangsamoro government will run, almost four hundred Bangsamoro people from Koronadal Province attended a seminar on Shariah (Islamic jurisprudence) and parliamentary system of governance.
   
In the learning activity entitled “Empowering Bangsamoro Political Leaders and Communities” held on April 11, 2014 at the Community Learning Center in Barangay Koronadal Proper in Polomolok, South Cotabato, the participants were also oriented on the electoral systems for Bangsamoro government.

The resource persons discussed the set-up of the newly created political party of the Moro Islamic Liberation Front (MILF).

Sheikh Abdulsalam D. Alabat, a Shariah expert and member of the Bangsamoro Leadership and Management Institute (BLMI) Steering Committee, discussed the following the definition of Shariah, Politics in Islam, Relevant Provisions in the Holy Qur’an, Key Concepts, and the Aim of the Political Party.

He related a verse from the Holy Qur’an which states: "Let there arise out of you a bond of people calling to the Goodness and enjoining what is good and forbidding what is evil; and those are the ones who will attain success“

The resource person explained that the first order is for the establishment of a group that has a bond binding its members and an Amir or leader whose obedience is obligatory.

“And the second order is to conduct actions calling to the Goodness and Enjoining what is good and forbidding what is evil,” he elaborated.

Alabat stressed that the political party aims for the establishment of good and forbidding what evil.

He said that in today’s situation, “All the Ma’ruf (goodness) have been removed due to the  absence of Islam, and Almost all the Munkar (evil) exist due to the absence of the state that implements Islam.

Alabat explained that in the ministerial form of government which the Bangsamoro will adopt once the basic law is ratified, the voters elect the legislature where the chief executive or the chief minister is drawn.

“The members of the cabinet are usually selected by the chief minister with approval from the legislative,” he said.

Koronadal Province is a political set-up under the MILF which is composed of towns of Tantangan, Tampakan, Polomolok, Tupi and Koronadal City.

The key officers of the MILF Political Committee and line agencies coming from the provincial, municipal and barangay levels attended the gathering.
